Enjoy a day of scenic splendor and natural beauty, from the lush surroundings of sparkling Rainbow Falls to the dramatic landscape of Volcanoes National Park, and an astonishing variety of tropical orchids.

You’ll begin just outside Hilo at Rainbow Falls, an 80-foot cascade that plunges into a circular pool, creating rainbows in the resulting mist. Hilo is considered one of the world’s orchid capitals, and Akatsuka Gardens is the perfect place to appreciate these tropical beauties that come in a stunning assortment of shapes, sizes, colors and patterns.

A one-hour drive transports you to a very different scene in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where 70 million years of volcanic history are on display. Admire the remarkable view of Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano. Learn about the birth of the still growing Hawaiian Islands at the Jaggar Museum where you'll view the Halemaumau Crater – in Hawaiian mythology said to be home to Pele, Goddess of Fire and Volcanoes.

You'll also have the opportunity to walk through the extinct Thurston Lava Tube, a cave formed by a river of lava. A visit to the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory completes your tour.

Note: Please be advised that while at Volcanoes National Park, you won't see molten lava, but may encounter natural sulfur gases that can affect those with respiratory problems. Thurston Lava Tube is not wheelchair accessible due to uneven pathways and steps. A boxed lunch will be provided. An additional optional shopping stop may be made. less

Explore Honolulu’s highlights – from Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific to Hawaii’s first Christian church, and Iolani Palace and Washington Place, both former residences of the Hawaiian monarchy.

Pearl Harbor is one of Hawaii’s best-known landmarks and the scene of the devastating aerial attack by Japan that drove the U.S. into WWII. Following a short orientation at the Arizona Memorial Visitor Center, travel by motor launch to the memorial, which straddles the hull of the battleship USS Arizona, sunk on December 7, 1941. Learn more about that infamous day, and pay your respects to ship’s 1,177 crewmen who died there.

In central Honolulu stand face to face with the larger-than-life statue of King Kamehameha I, the leader who united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom. Just across the street you’ll see the Iolani Palace, residence of Hawaii's last two monarchs. European in design, it boasted Hawaii’s first electric lights, flush toilets and internal phone system. Also nearby is Kawaiahao Church, Hawaii's first Christian house of worship, built of coral slabs from the offshore reefs.

At the heart of the downtown historic district you will notice the elegant Washington Place, now a museum, and once home to Liliuokalani, Hawaii’s last queen. Drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, in the extinct volcanic crater known as the Punchbowl. It is the final resting place of some 53,000 veterans who lost their lives in 20th century wars, including those who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Enjoy panoramic city views on your drive to the airport.

Note: This tour is only available for guests with flights after 4:00 pm. Guests are responsible for ensuring their debarkation tours are compatible with their flight departure times.

Snacks will be available for purchase. On rare occasions the Navy may discontinue the motor launch service to the Arizona Memorial due to weather and safety concerns - a visit to the Visitors Center will still be made.

On this deluxe tour to the Kilauea volcano, you’ll see how its eruptions have changed the life and landscape of the Big Island, devouring villages and forests, and extending the island’s shoreline. Learn how the residents cope, and how dedicated they are to saving what is precious from the onslaught of molten rock.

The lush greenery of Hilo gives way to stark black rock in Kalapana, a village completely destroyed by advancing lava in 1990. Your first stop is the lovely Painted Church. Now decommissioned, it was moved by determined villagers not once but twice, to evade the oncoming flow. You’ll see how the volcano engulfed everything in its path, completely filling in Kaimu Bay, and covering what was the best swimming beach on the island. Fortunately nature has provided a replacement – walk across now hardened stone to the new black sand beach.

Continue along the scenic Puna coastline to the jagged lava cliffs of MacKenzie State Park. Your guide knows the location of a volcanically heated cove where you can take a dip or snorkel among tropical fish and the occasional giant green sea turtle. You’ll also visit Lava Tree State Park, once a rainforest that happened to be in the path of a lava flow. The trees burned from the inside out, leaving hollow stone skeletons. Now covered with moss, they make for an eerie panorama.

A Hawaiian-style barbecue lunch, which includes complimentary beer and Champagne, is included. There are opportunities to purchase local products and souvenirs along the way.

Note: Participants must be at least 4 years of age. Tour capacity is limited and the order of the itinerary may change. Molten lava will not be seen. Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes and bring a swimsuit and towel. Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice. less

Discover Oahu's North Shore – surf mecca and home to the perfect wave.

They include Waimea Bay, a prominent spot in the early days of big wave surfing in the 1950’s, two-mile-long Sunset Beach, and the Banzai Pipeline, where waves breaking over a sharp reef make it one of the world’s most dangerous surfing scenes.

Continue past shrimp farms, and catch a glimpse of the small island known as Chinaman's Hat for its interesting shape. Shop for irresistible macadamia nuts and other local products at the Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet. On your way to the airport drop by the Byodo Temple, a scale replica of a temple in Japan constructed entirely without nails and surrounded by a lovely and tranquil garden.

Rise in the wee hours to travel from sea level to 10,000 feet and the top of Haleakala, Maui’s massive volcano. At the summit is a vast crater seven and a half miles long by two and a half miles wide, and 3,000 feet deep. It last erupted in 1790 and has slumbered ever since, though that does not mean it won’t one day wake up. The Hawaiians revere it as a sacred site, and tell tales of Pele, Goddess of Fire and Volcanos.

You’ll be perched on top as dawn breaks and the sun begins to rise, spreading a glow across the landscape. Once it is light enough you’ll marvel at the crater's eerie landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. If the day is clear, you may even make out two other towering peaks – Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the Big Island.

Note: This tour is not recommended for guests with respiratory or heart problems. Bring a sweatshirt as temperatures can be cool at the summit. Coffee and a pastry are also included. We do not guarantee the weather will permit viewing the sunrise. less

Make the journey up to the summit of the dormant Mauna Kea volcano for an exhilarating experience and breathtaking views above the clouds. Your drive starts at sea level and climbs up almost 14,000 feet in two hours. This is the world’s tallest mountain, measuring 32,000 feet from its underwater base to its summit at 13,796 feet above sea level.

Due to the dry, cloud-free atmosphere and distance from city lights, it hosts the world’s largest astronomical site. Currently there are 13 powerful telescopes here, operated by astronomers from 11 countries.

You’ll also stop at the Visitor Information Center in the Onizuka facility at 9,200 feet, so that you can adjust to the altitude. The Center was built to allow astronomers and technicians to acclimatize before beginning their work at the summit.

Note: Participants must be at least 16 years of age. This tour is not recommended for pregnant women, persons suffering from respiratory disorders or heart problems. Oxygen is carried for emergencies and warm parkas are provided, as the weather at the summit may be quite cold.
